HEAVY WATER EXPERIMENTS - Philosopher Queen (CD)

This may be a new band, but the main man behind the project is not a new name. David Melbye has been featured at MSJ through his work with Imogene, Fuzz Beloved and Ludivine. While all of those projects shared some common ground in terms of psychedelia meets progressive rock, Melbye has upped the stakes here and given us the best album of the bunch. The majority of the music here has a lot in common with both Porcupine Tree and early Pink Floyd, you_ll also hear other sounds that might call to mind bands like King Crimson and Rush. All in all this is a killer album that's both progressively challenging and catchy.
